NYC’s Congestion Tolls Are Killing Us—Trump Needs to Step In!

I don’t know how much more of this New Yorkers can take. If you drive into Manhattan below 60th Street, you’re getting hit with a $9 congestion fee with E-ZPass and $13.50 without it—every single time.

It doesn’t matter if you’re coming from the Upper West Side to Midtown, Queens, Brooklyn, or New Jersey—you’re getting taxed just for existing in your own city.

• Visiting your grandma? That’ll cost you.
• Driving to work every day? Congrats, you’re now spending an extra $45 a week, $180 a month just to keep your job.
• Taking an Uber? Already expensive, now even worse.
• Delivering food or running a service truck? You’re getting fined every single time you enter. Guess what? That means the price of food, goods, and services is going up for everyone.
• Want a date night? Great—on top of babysitter costs, transportation, and whatever you’d already spend, go ahead and add another $9 fee to the bill.

And what’s worse? We’re all terrified to use the MTA because we’re afraid of being set on fire, pushed into the tracks, or attacked by some mentally ill homeless person. The city is in shambles, and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.

This isn’t hurting the rich—they don’t care. This is crushing the poor, the middle class, and small businesses. Living here is already outrageously expensive, and now they’re making it even harder just to move around.

I’m a Republican living in New York, and I cannot for the life of me understand how people keep voting for insane Democrats like Kathy Hochul. We’re drowning in regulations and fees, and they just keep piling it on. Even Governor Murphy from New Jersey is furious about this congestion pricing, and he’s a Democrat!

I really hope Trump steps in and does something about this like he said he would. We’re getting squeezed dry out here, and enough is enough.
